Ancient & Medieval Historical Fiction discussion

I've lost track of the thread that had my quest for FL books so I'm starting one just for it!
A favorite is A Land Remembered, Volume 2
Now looking ata trilogy by Eugenia Price set in St. Augustine.

Was there a thread to it? I cannot remember.

Sorry, no recommendations come to mind straight away. :)

There wasn't a thread, it was before we started the "i'd like to read about or by" discussions threads. So it was in some other thread like what are you reading, but not that one. lol.

Luckily, the group covers more than the name implies. A Land Remembered covers 1800's to the 1960's and counts as HF. :)

I recommend Shadow Country by Peter Matthiessen. , Shadow Country is the re-written [by PM] trilogy of Florida historical fiction books [Killing Mr. Watson, Bone by Bone and Lost Man's River] joined into one to get the whole story of Edgar J. Watson. He was a real plantation owner, one of the early settlers in the area now known as the Everglades. There are many rumors about his life and his death. This book is the fictionalized account of the myths and truths of the man and his family.

The book won the National Book Award. You'll never look at my home state of Florida, at least it's early history, quite the same way again once read.

Marilee, don't know how far back your family goes, but there's a Menorcan fest this weekend in St Augustine. They're cousins for me, as they married into the Spanish & English already living there.

These have been recommended by some recently found cousins who love to read
The Minorcan Yoke and
Turnbull's Slaves by Donald H. Sullivan (no GR link found...)
